- OCR unit 630 may select a first pixel at a first time and a second pixel at a second time. For example, in some instances where image 1000 is defective when received by server 116 , server 116 is not able to determine the color of a pixel from the second image at the first time. Server 116 receives another image 1000 to determine the color of another pixel from the second image at the second time. In other aspects, server 116 determines the alarm severity to be the same as the previous alarm severity if server 116 cannot determine the color of the pixel from the two pixels. In another aspect, process 1400 , described below, may be used to validate the extracted data from the second image.
- Process 1400 begins by extracting, using optical character recognition, first data from a first portion of an image at step 1402 .

- Process 1400 continues by determining the validity of the first data based on the comparison at step 1406 . For example, if the extracted serial number of medical device 624 does not match a standard format for a serial number consisting e.g. of a certain number of characters and/or digits, the extracted serial number is not valid. In one aspect, if the extracted serial number does not comprise six digits and the standard format for the serial number is six digits, the extracted serial number is not valid. In another aspect, step 1406 repeats a certain amount of times before making a final determination. For example, if three attempts are required to validate the first data, the first data is determined to be valid if comparison results in a positive match three times. If during the three attempts one of the comparisons does not result in a positive match, the first data is determined to not be valid.
- process 1400 continues to step 1408 .

- remote link 102 captures another image similar to 1000 using image capture unit 628 and server 116 may receive the similar image from remote link 102 .
